However, in response to her allegations, Sergeant Lewis Powell, a 15-year veteran, has filed a counter-suit, asserting that Hall persistently flirted with him and pressured him into sexual encounters despite their marital statuses. He further claims that Hall had a specific preference for Black men.
According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Powell states that Hall initially initiated conversations about sex, expressing dissatisfaction with her own marital life. When Powell offered suggestions to spice up her relationship with her husband, Hall requested him to demonstrate in order to learn how to please her spouse.
Subsequently, Hall, Powell, and three other colleagues were dismissed from their positions as part of an internal investigation into allegations surrounding activities such as wife-swapping and hot tub parties within the police force. Police Chief Burrel 'Chip' Davis reprimanded Hall for her actions, but he was later terminated after it was revealed that he was aware of the situation.
Hall's lawsuit portrays her as a victim of predatory behavior, accusing Powell of positioning himself as a source of companionship and advice. In contrast, Powell's counter-suit alleges that Hall relentlessly pursued him for sexual encounters and sent explicit messages. Powell admits that he engaged in sexual behavior with Hall, but he claims regret for betraying his wife amid marital troubles.
Powell's filing further states that he attempted to end the relationship amicably with Hall in May 2022, expressing his love for his wife. Nevertheless, Hall persisted in attempting to rekindle the relationship. Powell suggests that Hall exhibited a racial fetish toward him as a Black man, making explicit remarks about his race and engaging in inappropriate conversations at the workplace.
According to Powell, Hall eventually turned her attention to other officers for sexual activity after he firmly declined her advances. He is seeking $200,000 in compensation for the damage to his reputation and emotional distress caused by these events. Both Hall and Powell, along with other officers and Chief Davis, were terminated following an internal inquiry conducted last year.
Hall's lawsuit emphasizes the unwanted international notoriety she has gained as the "girls gone wild" female officer, highlighting the proliferation of jokes, memes, and sexual remarks targeting her on the internet. The document argues that, had it not been for the alleged sexual grooming and abuse by the City of La Vergne, Sgt. McGowan, Sgt. Powell, and Chief Davis, Hall would not have been subjected to such an extreme level of public ridicule and shaming.
